Pope Francis says people who manufacture weapons or invest in weapons industries are hypocrites if they call themselves Christian

People who manufacture weapons or invest in weapons industries are hypocrites if they call themselves Christian, Pope Francis said on Sunday.

Francis issued his toughest condemnation to date of the weapons industry at a rally of thousands of young people at the end of the first day of his trip to the Italian city of Turin.

"If you trust only men you have lost," he told the young people in a long, rambling talk about war, trust and politics after putting aside his prepared address.

"It makes me think of ... people, managers, businessmen who call themselves Christian and they manufacture weapons. That leads to a bit a distrust, doesn't it?" he said to applause.

He also criticised those who invest in weapons industries, saying "duplicity is the currency of today ... they say one thing and do another."

Francis also built on comments he has made in the past about events during the first and second world wars.

He spoke of the "tragedy of the Shoah," using the Hebrew term for the Holocaust.

"The great powers had the pictures of the railway lines that brought the trains to the concentration camps like Auschwitz to kill Jews, Christians, homosexuals, everybody. Why didn't they bomb (the railway lines)?"

Discussing World War One, he spoke of "the great tragedy of Armenia" but did not use the word "genocide".

The kiddy diddling Catholic faggot Francis should get a real job! Auschwitz was not a death camp it was a forced labour camp, first time the Jews did manual labour! The real tragedy is there was no Shoah!

The had children and old people in Auschwitz - those needed to be exterminated at once. The Nazis could have spared the World from the current tragedy by exterminating all Jewish minded rats. Jews don't exist anyway.

Absolute bloody nonsense ! Ann Frank survived and wrote her bull shit diary and she was only 13 in 1945 when she died of typhus like most of the inmates! The Shoah is the second biggest lie of all time the biggest lie of all time is there is a God!

Pope Francis tells truth. He explains his view in a Christian context. To profess this belief forms a preference for love and giving. To engage in war, provide the weaponry, grows hate, and the urge for conquest. Embracing war/weaponry implies love and giving reside somewhere within these acts, and shows duplicity at its most vehement. All humans live with failings and triumphs; priests, politicians, workers, owners. So take hold of your frustrations, look for solutions, and be the best person you can be. Pope Francis shows himself a hero of love, with faith his guide. I respect that and consider him my hero.

Nope. I'm not surprised, and haven't been since I opened my eyes to the vast difference that there is between having spiritual knowledge (gnosis) vs. blind faith (religion) as a young adult.That being said, I think organized modern "religion" is actually what JC was warning everyone against in the years of his ministry here on earth.

Leader of the little boy buggering priests who worships Satan and Lucifer stand down and release your wealth to the masses, and release the papal library so that we may know the truth about humanitys past. Then go elsewhere to torture and push your evil!

Pray your Rosary every day, wear the Brown Scapular, find a traditional church that still offers a Mass pleasing to God, the Mass of the Saints, and prepare for the prelude to WWIII and apocalyptic events that "not a soul will not be terrified" to see or experience, God's wrath.Saint Catherine of Sienna, was told by Our Lord that the sin of sodomy, homosexuality, is so detestable that even the devils, who tempt the soul into its commission, leaves the room in disgust and horror, of such a sin that even attacks and horrifies their own remaining angelic character. Five city kingdoms were destroyed for this sin, whole civilizations collapse when they became contaminated by this filthy and disgusting sin, and this Pope assigns and elevates Bishops who have been accused or have a reputation of either protecting or participating in this detestable sin. And he says - whom am I to judge - what insanity - what revolt against the Law of God, from our new Marxist Pope.

The majority of Americas armed forces are joining in order to reduce or eliminated charges of crimes committed and foreign fighters who will receive citizenship for service. The people cheering them on are MSM, not we the people.

I'll pray for your peace of soul in light of the coming disclosure, easing into the love of all God's creation; consciously or otherwise, emanating out of papal guidance, infallible even now. I also revere Pius X, and the saints who professed their love of every being. The HMC changes with the times, but the HG is always in its heart.
